Chemistry Chemical Reactions Lesson 7 Lesson Plan David V. Fansler Describing Chemical Change Objectives: Write equations describing chemical reactions using appropriate symbols; Write balanced chemical equations when given the names or formulas of the reactants and products in a chemical reaction - Word Equations o Every minute of everyday, there are chemical reactions going on all around you – name some Digestion of food – acids breaking down food to a form the body can use for energy Photosynthesis – converting sunlight and CO2 to O2 and food Respiration – 02 being taken in, CO2 and water vapor expelled Battery in your car to create electricity Gasoline being used to create motion o Not all chemical reactions are good – name some Rust on your car (iron and oxygen) Food molding – food broken down by mold o In all cases, you have chemicals reactions, which involve one or more substances (reactants) which are changed into one or more new substances (products) o Your task is to learn to describe a chemical reaction in writing. o The basic form is Reactants Products o Important to note that atoms are neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction – they are merely rearranged. – Remember the Law of Conservation of Mass? o In describing a chemical reaction you use statements such as Iron reacts with oxygen to produce iron(III) oxide which is called rust Or it could be written iron + oxygen iron(III) oxide • Note that the reactants are on the left of the arrow and the product is on the right • A plus sign separates the reactants – if there had been more than two reactants, there would have been a + sign between each of them. • Had there been more than one product, they also would have been separated by + signs Consider hydrogen peroxide being poured into a cut • If you have ever done this, you know that the hydrogen peroxide bubbles – this is oxygen being formed. The reaction would be o Hydrogen peroxide water + oxygen David V. Fansler – Beddingfield High School - Page 1 Chemistry Lesson #7 – Chemical Reactions • Another example common to our live is the burning of natural gas for heating – methane is the major component and would give a chemical reaction of o Methane + oxygen carbon dioxide + water o Notice that we included oxygen since it is needed as part of the reaction Some word equations indicate outside influences that are needed – such as: water copper carbon dioxide → copper carbonate yeast glu cos e → ethanol + carbon dioxide - - light carbon dioxide + water → glu cos e + oxygen • In these examples we have the green that you see on copper left outside (domes, Statue of Liberty), production of ethanol (which is an alcohol) and photosynthesis Chemical Equations o To be more precise, we use chemical equations to describe a chemical reaction. As with a word equation, we use an arrow to indicate a reaction, with the reactants on the left, separated by a + sign, and products on the right, also separated by a + sign. Take rust: Fe + O 2 → Fe 2 O3 Such an equation is called a skeleton equation, in that it only shows the products and reactants, but does not show the amount used or created in the reaction. A skeleton equation is the important first step in obtaining a correct chemical equation o The second thing we can add is the physical state of the reactants and products – to do this we use abbreviations in parenthesis following the element or compound (s) for solid, (l) for liquid, (g) for gas and (aq) for an aqueous solution (a substance dissolved in water). For rust: • Fe(s) + O 2 (g) → Fe2 O3 (s) o In many chemical reactions, a substance is used that will speed up the reaction, but is not used up in the reaction – this substance is called a catalyst. Because a catalyst is not used up in a reaction, it is written in over the arrow. Remember that hydrogen peroxide on a cut bubbles forming water and oxygen. Adding manganese(IV) dioxide (MnO2(s)) catalyzes the decomposition of an aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)(aq) into water and oxygen, we get the skeleton equation of MnO2 → H 2O(l ) + O2 ( g ) • H 2O2 (aq ) Symbols used in Chemical Equations David V. Fansler – Beddingfield High School - Page 2 Chemistry Lesson #7 – Chemical Reactions Symbols Used in Chemical Equations Symbol + Explanation Used to separate two reactants or two products “Yields” separates reactants and products An alternative to (s) Designates a reactant or product in the solid state; placed after the formula (l) Designates a reactant or product in the liquid state; placed after the formula (g) Designates a reactant or product in the gaseous state; placed after the formula (aq) Designates an aqueous solution; the substance is dissolved in water; placed after the formula ∆ heat → → Pt → Indicates that heat is supplied to the reaction A formula written above or below the yield sign indicates its use as a catalyst (in this example, platinum) Sample Problem Write a skeleton equation for this chemical reaction: Solid sodium, hydrogen carbonate reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce aqueous sodium chloride, water and carbon dioxide gas. Include the appropriate symbols. First, write the formula for each substance in the reaction, separate the reactants from the products, and indicate the state of each substance Reactants: Solid sodium hydrogen carbonate: NaHCO3(s) Hydrochloric acid: HCl(aq) Products: Aqueous sodium chloride: NaCl(aq) Water: H2O(l) Carbon dioxide gas: CO2(g) Then write the equation NaHCO3 ( s ) + HCl (aq ) → NaCl (aq ) + H 2O(l ) + CO2 ( g ) David V. Fansler – Beddingfield High School - Page 3 Chemistry Lesson #7 – Chemical Reactions Sulfur burns in oxygen to form sulfur dioxide S ( s ) + O2 ( g ) → SO2 ( g ) Heating potassium chlorate in the presence of the catalyst manganese dioxide produces oxygen gas. Potassium chloride is left as a solid. ∆ , MnO2 KHClO3 ( s ) → KCl( s ) + O2 ( g ) Write a sentence that describes each chemical reaction: KOH (aq ) + H 2 SO4 (aq ) → H 2O(l ) + K 2 SO4 (aq ) Aqueous potassium hydroxide is combined with aqueous sulfuric acid to form water and aqueous potassium sulfate Na ( s ) + H 2O(l ) → NaOH (aq ) + H 2 ( g ) Solid sodium is combined with water to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas - Balancing an equation o So far all we have done in writing a skeleton equation is to identify the elements or compounds that are the reactants and products, and what state they are in (solid, liquid, gas or aqueous) o In order to maintain the Law of Conservation of Mass, we must have the same number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation o Sometimes this works out by itself C ( s ) + O2 ( g ) → CO2 ( g ) Notice that we have 1 C on both sides and 2 oxygens, so the equation is balanced o In another equation we have H2(g) + O2(g) H2O(l) In this case we have 2 hydrogen on both sides, but one oxygen on the reactant side and 2 oxygens on the product side – this is not a balanced equation, how do we balance it? 2H2(g) + O2(g) 2H2O(l) Now it is balanced because we have 4 hydrogen atoms on each side and two oxygen atoms on each side o Rules for balancing an equation Determine the correct formula for all the reactants and products in the reaction, using what you think you know about elements and compounds. In some cases, you may also indicate in parentheses the state in which the reactants and products exist. Write the formulas for the reactants on the left side and the formulas for the products on the right side with a yields sign ( ) in between. If two or more reactants or products are involved, separate their formulas with plus signs. When finished, you will have a skeleton equation. David V. Fansler – Beddingfield High School - Page 4 Chemistry Lesson #7 – Chemical Reactions Count the number of atoms of each element in the reactants and products. For simplicity, a polyatomic ion appearing unchanged on both sides of the equation is counted as a single unit. Balance the elements one at the time by using coefficients. When no coefficient is written, it assumed to be 1. It is best to begin the balancing operation with elements that appear only once on each side of the equation. You must not attempt to balance an equation by changing the subscripts in the chemical formula of a substance. Check each atom or polyatomic ion to be sure that the equation is balanced. Finally, make sure all the coefficients are in the lowest possible ratio that balances Sample Problems Hydrogen and oxygen react to form water. Write a balanced equation for this reaction. First, write out the skeleton equation H2(g) + O2(g) H2O(l) Next, counting the number of atoms of each element on both sides we see that we have 2 hydrogen on both sides, but two oxygens in the reactants and only one in the products – so if we multiple the product by 2, it will give us two oxygens on both sides H2(g) + O2(g) 2H2O(l) But now we have 2 hydrogens in the reactants and 4 in the product, so it we use a coefficient of 2 on the reactant hydrogen 2H2(g) + O2(g) 2H2O(l) we now have 4 hydrogens on both sides, and 2 oxygens on both sides – the equation is balanced. AgNO3 + H 2 S → Ag 2 S + HNO3 balances to 2 AgNO3 + H 2 S → Ag 2 S + 2 HNO3 MnO2 + HCl → MnCl2 + H 2O + Cl2 balances to MnO2 + 4 HCl → MnCl2 + 2 H 2O + Cl2 David V. Fansler – Beddingfield High School - Page 5 Chemistry Lesson #7 – Chemical Reactions Zn(OH ) 2 + H 3 PO4 → Zn3 ( PO4 ) 2 + H 2O balances to 3Zn(OH ) 2 + 2 H 3 PO4 → Zn3 ( PO4 ) 2 + 6 H 2O Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction of copper metal and an aqueous solution of silver nitrate. AgNO3 (aq) + Cu ( s) → Cu ( NO3 ) 2 (aq) + Ag ( s ) balances to 2 AgNO3 (aq) + Cu ( s) → Cu ( NO3 ) 2 (aq) + 2 Ag ( s) CO + Fe2O3 → Fe + CO2 balances to 3CO + Fe2O3 → 2 Fe + 3CO2 Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction of carbon with oxygen to from carbon monoxide C + O2 → CO balances to 2C + O2 → 2CO Aluminum reacts with oxygen in the air to form a thing protective coat of aluminum oxide. Balance the equation for this reaction Al ( s ) + O2 ( g ) → Al2O3 ( s ) balances to 4 Al ( s ) + 3O2 ( g ) → 2 Al2O3 ( s ) FeCl3 + NaOH → Fe(OH )3 + NaCl balances to FeCl3 + 3 NaOH → Fe(OH )3 + 3 NaCl CH 4 + Br2 → CH 3 Br + HBr balances to CH 4 + Br2 → CH 3 Br + HBr sodium + water → sodium hydroxide + hydrogen Na + H 2O → NaOH + H 2 balances to 2 Na + 2 H 2O → 2 NaOH + H 2 David V. Fansler – Beddingfield High School - Page 6 Chemistry Lesson #7 – Chemical Reactions calcium hydroxide + sulfuric acid → calcium sulfate + water Ca (OH ) 2 + H 2 SO4 → CaSO4 + H 2O balances to Ca (OH ) 2 + H 2 SO4 → CaSO4 + 2 H 2O Types of Chemical Reactions Objectives: Identify a reaction as combination, decomposition, single replacement, double replacement, and combustion reactions; Predict the products of combination, decomposition, single replacement, double replacement, and combustion reactions. - Classifying Reactions o If we consider all the different possible chemical reactions, we would quickly conclude that there are millions of them possible, with millions of possible compounds o Just as we learned how to identify compounds (molecular and ionic) there are several ways to categorize chemical reactions Combination – two or more substances form a new compound Decomposition – a single compound is broken down into two or more products Single-Replacement – atoms of one element replace the atoms of another element in a compound Double-Replacement – an exchange of positive ions between two reacting compounds Combustion Reactions – an element or compound reacts with oxygen often producing energy such as heat and light o Combination Reaction In this type of reaction, two or more substances combine to form a new substance When a Group A metal combines with a non-metal, you have a ionic reaction. For cations and anions, you should be able to write the correct formula by considering the charges • Potassium and Chlorine combine K ( s ) + Cl2 ( g ) = KCl ( s ) • balances to 2 K ( s ) + Cl2 ( g ) = 2 KCl ( s ) When two non-metals react by combination, often more than one product is possible • S ( s ) + O2 ( g ) → SO2 ( g ) sulfur dioxide S ( s ) + O2 ( g ) → SO3 ( g ) sulfur trioxide • 2S ( s ) + 3O2 ( g ) → 2SO3 ( g ) sulfur trioxide When a transition metal and a non-metal combine you may also get more than one product David V. Fansler – Beddingfield High School - Page 7 Chemistry Lesson #7 – Chemical Reactions Fe( s) + S ( s) → FeS ( s) iron( II ) sulfide 2 Fe( s ) + 3S ( s ) → Fe2 S3 ( s ) iron( III ) sulfide Some non-metal oxides react with water to produce an acid (hydrogen ions in aqueous solution) • SO2 ( g ) + H 2O(l ) → H 2 SO3 (aq ) sulfurous acid Some metallic oxides react with water to form a base (compound containing hydroxide ions). Use the ionic charges to derive the formula. • CaO ( s ) + H 2O (l ) → Ca (OH ) 2 (aq ) calcium hydroxide • Sample Problems Complete the following combination reactions: Here we have a metal and a non-metal – a typical ionic reaction Al ( s ) + O2 → Al 3+ ( s ) + O 2− 2 → Al2O3 ( s ) 4 Al ( s ) + 3O2 → 2 Al2O3 ( s ) Here we have transition metal and a non-metal. Remember that transition metals can have multiple ionic charges! Cu ( s ) + S ( s ) → (two reactions possible) Cu 2+ ( s ) + S 2− ( s ) → CuS ( s ) balanced or Cu1+ ( s ) + S 2− ( s ) → Cu2 S 2Cu ( s ) + S ( s ) → Cu2 S And lastly, we have a non-metal oxide and water, which usually produces an acid when the two molecules combine. SO3 ( g ) + H 2O(l ) → SO3 ( g ) + H 2O(l ) → H 2 SO4 (l ) balanced - Decomposition Reactions o In decomposition reactions, a single compound is broken down into two or more products. The products can be an element or compounds. o Usually the decomposition of a compound can be difficult, except when a simple binary compound breaks down into its base elements. o Extremely rapid decomposition can often be accompanied by gases and heat – commonly known as an explosion. These decompositions usually require energy either as heat, light or electricity o When calcium carbonate is heated, it decomposes into calcium oxide (lime) and carbon dioxide heat CaCO3 ( s ) → CaO( s ) + CO2 ( g ) o Another example would be mercury(II) oxide when heated produces mercury and gaseous oxygen heat 2 HgO( s ) → 2 Hg (l ) + O2 ( g ) David V. Fansler – Beddingfield High School - Page 8 Chemistry Lesson #7 – Chemical Reactions o For a rapid decomposition example, how about TNT (trinitrotoluene) C7 H 5 N 3O6 ( s ) → N 2 ( g ) + CO( g ) + H 2O( g ) + C ( s ) 2C7 H 5 N 3O6 ( s ) → 3 N 2 ( g ) + 7CO( g ) + 5 H 2O( g ) + 7C ( s ) Notice that for every 2 mol of TNT that you have 15 moles of expanding gas Sample Problems Write a balanced equation for each decomposition: electricity → H 2O(l ) electricity → H 2 ( g ) + O2 ( g ) H 2O(l ) electricity → 2 H 2 ( g ) + O2 ( g ) 2 H 2O(l ) heat lead ( IV ) oxide → heat PbO2 ( s ) → Pb( s ) + O2 ( g ) balanced - Single Replacement o In a single- replacement (also called single-displacement) reaction you start with an element and a compound. The element displaces an element in the compound, leaving you with that element and a new compound o Example would be dropping potassium into water Result is fire on the water What could be happening? Potassium replaces the hydrogen in the water, also liberating lots of heat. The hydrogen burns, and a base is produce – KOH K ( s) + H 2 0(l ) → KOH (aq ) + H 2 ( g ) + heat 2 K ( s) + 2 H 2 0(l ) → 2 KOH (aq ) + H 2 ( g ) + heat o Whether a metal will displace another metal in a compound depends on the relative relativities of the two metals – a list of the activity series of metals is below o According to the list, a reactive metal will replace any metal listed below it Iron will replace copper from a copper compound in solution Magnesium will replace zinc in a zinc compound in solution or silver from a silver compound in solution However, magnesium will never replace lithium or calcium in aqueous solutions of their compounds Mg ( s ) + Zn( NO3 ) 2 (aq ) → Mg ( NO2 ) 2 (aq ) + Zn( s ) Mg ( s ) + 2 AgNO3 (aq ) → Mg ( NO3 ) 2 (aq ) + 2 Ag ( s ) Mg ( s ) + LiNO3 (aq) → no reaction - David V. Fansler – Beddingfield High School - Page 9 Chemistry Lesson #7 – Chemical Reactions - Activity Series of Metals Name Symbol Lithium Li Potassium K Calcium Ca Sodium Na Magnesium Mg Zinc Zn Iron Fe Lead Pb (Hydrogen) (H)* Copper Cu Mercury Hg Silver Ag * Metals from Li to Na will replace H from acids and water. From Mg to Pb they will replace H from acids Only. - A non-metal can also replace a non-metal from a compound. This is usually limited to the halogens (F2, Cl2, Br2, and I2). The activity decreases as you go down the group. Sample Problems Write a balanced chemical equation for each single-replacement reaction: Zn( s ) + H 2 SO4 (aq ) → Zn( s ) + H 2 SO4 (aq ) → ZnSO4 (aq ) + H 2 ( g ) Na( s ) + H 2O(l ) → 2 Na ( s ) + 2 H 2O(l ) → 2 NaOH (aq ) + H 2 ( g ) Sn( s ) + NaNO3 (aq ) → Sn( s ) + NaNO3 (aq ) → no reaction Cl2 ( g ) + NaBr (aq) → Cl2 ( g ) + 2 NaBr (aq) →2 NaCl (aq) + Br2 (l ) - Double-Replacement Reactions o When dealing with two ionic compounds dissolved in water to form a homogenous mixture, there are two possibilities when they are mixed together. They form a new homogenous mixture A chemical reaction will occur David V. Fansler – Beddingfield High School - Page 10 Chemistry Lesson #7 – Chemical Reactions Mixing solutions of NaCl and CaNO2 results in a homogenous mixture Mixing solutions of aqueous solutions of barium chloride (BaCl2) and potassium carbonate (KCO3) results in a chemical reaction in which the barium and the potassium exchange places forming an aqueous solution of potassium chloride (K2Cl) and a precipitate of barium carbonate (BaCO3). K 2CO3 (aq ) + BaCl2 (aq ) → KCl + BaCO3 • K 2CO3 (aq ) + BaCl2 ( aq) → 2 KCl + BaCO3 balanced o Generally double-replacement reactions involve the exchange of positive ions between two reacting compounds. Typically the compounds are in aqueous solution and are often characterized by the production of a precipitate For a double-replacement to take place on of the following is usually true • One product is only slightly soluble and precipitates from solution. For example sodium sulfide reacts with cadmium nitrate to produce a yellow precipitate of cadmium sulfide in a solution of sodium nitrate: o Na2 S (aq ) + Cd ( NO3 ) 2 (aq ) → CdS ( s ) + 2 NaNO2 (aq) • One product is a gas that bubbles out of the mixture. An example would be hydrogen cyanide gas is produced when an aqueous sodium cyanide is mix with sulfuric acid o 2 NaCN (aq) + H 2 SO4 (aq) → 2 HCN ( g ) + Na2 SO4 (aq) • One product is a molecular compound such as water. Combining solutions of calcium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid produces water as one of the products o Ca (OH ) 2 (aq ) + 2 HCl (aq) → CaCl2 (aq) + 2 H 2O(l ) Sample Problems: Write a balanced equation for the each double replacement reaction: BaCl2 (aq) + K 2CO3 (aq) → ( A parcipitate of barium carbonate is formed ) BaCl2 (aq) + K 2CO3 (aq) → BaCO3 ( s ) + KCl (aq) BaCl2 (aq) + K 2CO3 (aq) → BaCO3 ( s ) + 2 KCl (aq) FeS ( s) + HCl ( aq) → ( hydrogen sulfide gas ( H 2 S ) is formed ) FeS ( s) + HCl (aq) → H 2 S ( g ) + FeCl2 (aq) FeS ( s) + 2 HCl (aq) → H 2 S ( g ) + FeCl2 ( aq ) David V. Fansler – Beddingfield High School - Page 11 Chemistry Lesson #7 – Chemical Reactions - Combustion Reactions o In a combustion reaction, an element or compound reacts with oxygen, often producing energy as heat and light. o Some of the most common combustion reactions involve hydrocarbons – that is compounds of hydrogen and carbon. These reactions always produce CO2 and H2O In addition carbon (C) and CO may be additional products Lack of oxygen may lead to incomplete combustion Complete combustion of a hydrocarbon releases a large amount of energy as heat. • Methane (CH4), Propane (C3H8) and butane (C4H10) are important fossil fuels o CH 4 ( g ) + 2O2 ( g ) → CO2 ( g ) + 2 H 2O ( g ) Sample Problems Write a balanced equation for the complete combustion of these compounds benzene (C6 H 6 )(l ) C6 H 6 (l ) + O2 ( g ) → CO2 ( g ) + H 2O( g ) 2C6 H 6 (l ) + 15O2 ( g ) → 12CO2 ( g ) + 6 H 2O( g ) methanol(CH 3OH )(l ) CH 3OH (l ) + O2 ( g ) → CO2 ( g ) + H 2O( g ) 2CH 3OH (l ) + 3O2 ( g ) → 2CO2 ( g ) + 4 H 2O( g ) - - Predicting Products in a Chemical Reaction o With the five major type of reactions covered, we should mention a 5th type of reaction – oxidation - reduction, commonly known as redox Oxidation is the combination of an element with oxygen to produce an oxide (iron(III) oxide – rust) Reduction is the removal of oxygen from a compound (to make iron from iron ore: 2Fe 2 O3 (s) + 3C(s) → 4Fe(s) + 3CO 2 (g) Fe2O3 + CO2 o Five types summarized Combination R + S → RS Decomposition RS → R + S Single-Replacement T + RS → TS + R Double-Replacement R + S − + T +U − → T + S − + R +U − x+ y Combustion C x H y + ( ) O2 → xCO2 + ( y / 2) H 2O 4 Reactions in Aqueous Solutions o Net Ionic Equations With the world being 70% water, and even the adult human body being ~66% water, it is not surprising that many David V. Fansler – Beddingfield High School - Page 12 Chemistry Lesson #7 – Chemical Reactions important chemical reactions take place in water – that is an aqueous solution. When we looked at a double-replacement reaction, we spoke of the exchange of positive ions. • AgNO3 (aq) + NaCl (aq ) → AgCl ( s ) + NaNO3 (aq) • This is more realistically written if we were to recognize that most ionic compounds dissociate or separate into anions and cations when they dissolve in water. • With this new information we can write a complete ionic equation Ag + (aq) + NO3− (aq ) + Na + (aq ) + Cl − (aq ) → • AgCl ( s) + Na + (aq) + NO3− (aq ) • We can simplify the equation by canceling ions that do not participate in the reaction Ag + (aq) + NO3− (aq ) + Na + (aq ) + Cl − (aq ) → • AgCl ( s) + Na + (aq) + NO3− (aq ) • • • • • Leaving us with Ag + (aq) + Cl − (aq ) → AgCl ( s ) Ions that are not directly involved in the reaction are called spectator ions. The reduced equation is called a net ionic equation – it only includes those particles actually taking part in the reaction A net ionic equation still must be balanced – number of moles and the charge Consider the following reaction: Pb( s ) + AgNO3 (aq ) → Ag ( s) + Pb( NO3 ) 2 (aq) Pb +2 ( s ) + Ag + ( s) + NO3− (aq ) → Ag + ( s ) + Pb( NO3 ) 2 (aq) Pb 2+ ( s ) + 2 Ag + ( s ) → 2 Ag + ( s ) + Pb 2− (aq) Sample Problems Identify the spectator ions and write the balanced net ionic equation for these reactions HCl (aq) + ZnS (aq ) → H 2 S ( g ) + ZnCl2 (aq) H + (aq) + Cl − (aq ) + Zn + (aq) + S − (aq) → H 2 + (aq) + S − ( g ) + Zn + (aq) + Cl2 − (aq) zinc and cholrine are the spectator ions H + (aq) + S 2− (aq) → H 2 S ( g ) 2 H + (aq) + S 2− (aq) → H 2 S ( g ) David V. Fansler – Beddingfield High School - Page 13 Chemistry Lesson #7 – Chemical Reactions Cl2 ( g ) + NaBr ( aq) → Br2 (l ) + NaCl (aq) Cl2 − ( g ) + Na + ( aq) + Br − ( aq) → Br2 − (l ) + Na + ( aq) + Cl − (aq) Spectator ion is Na + (aq) Cl2 − ( g ) + Br − (aq) → Br2 − (l ) + Cl − (aq) Cl2 − ( g ) + 2 Br − (aq ) → Br2 − (l ) + 2Cl − (aq ) - Predicting the Formation of a Precipitate o As seen in double replacement, when you mix two ionic compounds you often get an aqueous solution and a solid which falls out of solution – the precipitate o Precipitates are often insoluble salts, and can be predicted with the use of a few general rules for solubility of ionic compounds Compound - Solubility Rules for Ionic Compounds Solubility Exceptions 1. Salts of alkali metals (Group 1A) and ammonia 2. Nitrate salts and chlorate salts (NO3, ClO3) 3. Sulfate salts (SO4) Soluble Some lithium compounds Soluble Few exceptions Soluble Compounds of Pb, Ag, Hg, Ba, Sr, and Ca 4. Chloride salts Soluble Compounds of Ag and some compounds of Hg and Pb Most are insoluble Compounds of the alkali 5. Carbonates, metals and of ammonia phosphates, chromates, sulfides, U and hydroxides s ing the table – lets take an example of two aqueous solutions of sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) and barium nitrate (Ba(NO3)2) are mixed together o First we need to recognize that while there are essentially 2 elements and 2 polyatomic ions, we could have up to 4 combinations, except that the charges limit us to two combinations NaSO4 (aq) + Ba ( NO3 ) 2 (aq ) → ? o 2 Na + + SO4 2− (aq ) + Ba 2+ + 2 NO3− (aq) → ? 2 Na + + SO4 2− (aq ) + Ba 2+ + 2 NO3− (aq) → NaNO3 (?) + BaSO4 (?) David V. Fansler – Beddingfield High School - Page 14 Chemistry Lesson #7 – Chemical Reactions o Here we see the two possible combinations in double replacement, so which one will be the precipitate? According to rule 1, salts of alkali metals (Group 1A) are soluble – so that means that NaNO3 will stay aqueous due to the Na According to rule 2, nitrate salts and chlorate salts are soluble – again proof that NaNO3 will stay aqueous due to the NO3. Ba is not covered by any of the rules – so that means it is insoluble (will not stay as an aqueous solution) and therefore falls out of solution. This means that Na+ and NO3- are spectator ions and the net ionic equation can be written as Ba 2+ (aq) + SO4 2− (aq ) → + BaSO4 ( s ) Sample Problems Using the solubility rules, identify the precipitates formed and write the net ionic equation for the reaction of aqueous potassium carbonate with aqueous strontium chloride First set up the skeleton equation K 2CO3 (aq ) + SrCl2 (aq ) → KCl (?) + SrCO3 (?) break it apart to the ionic equation on the reac tan t side K 2 + (aq ) + CO32− (aq ) + Sr 2+ (aq ) + Cl2 − (aq) → KCl (?) + SrCO3 (?) Looking at the rules for solubility, rule 1 would apply to the potassium in potassium chloride. Rule 2 has no applicability, nor does rule 3. Rule 4 says that chloride salts are soluble, so again KCl is soluble. Rule 5 says that carbonates are insoluble, so that means that SrCO3 would be the precipitate. This means that potassium and chloride are the spectator ions Sr 2+ (aq) + CO32− (aq ) → SrCO3 ( s ) Identify the precipitate formed, and write the net ionic equation for mixing a solutions of NH4Cl(aq) and Pb(NO3)2(aq) NH 4Cl (aq ) + Pb( NO3 ) 2 (aq ) → NH 4 + (aq ) + Cl − (aq ) + Pb 2+ (aq ) + NO3− (aq) → NH 4 + (aq ) + Cl − (aq ) + Pb 2+ (aq ) + NO3− (aq) → NH 4 NO3 (?) + PbCl2 (?) Looking at our rules, Rule 1 covers ammonia; rule 2 covers nitrates (that’s two hits for NH4NO3 being soluble); rule 3 does not cover anything, rule 4 covers chloride salts with lead as being soluble), and rule 5 is not used. Pb 2+ (aq ) + Cl − (aq ) → PbCl2 ( s ) Pb 2+ (aq) + 2Cl − (aq ) → PbCl2 ( s) Write a complete ionic equation for the reaction of aqueous solutions of iron(III) nitrate and sodium hydroxide David V. Fansler – Beddingfield High School - Page 15 Chemistry Lesson #7 – Chemical Reactions Fe( NO3 )3 (aq ) + NaOH (aq ) → ? Fe3+ (aq) + 3 NO3− (aq ) + 3Na + (aq ) + 3OH − (aq ) → 3Na + (aq) + 3 NO3− (aq ) + Fe(OH )3 (aq) Fe3+ (aq ) + 3OH − (aq ) → Fe(OH )3 ( s ) Fe(OH)3 forms a precipitate by rule 5 – hydroxides are insoluble David V.
